Chocolate Waffelz - Paradise Seeds

MistaOC 20.01. F1 Overview The first week of flowering started off strong, with the plants transitioning into the 12/12 light cycle without any major stress. Structurally, they are well prepared for bloom and show a healthy overall appearance. However, this week also revealed a heavy thrips infestation, clearly visible through the characteristic small white spots on the leaves. To counter this, I took action early and applied nematodes via watering on Monday, January 26th. This biological approach should significantly reduce the pest pressure over the coming days and prevent further damage as flowering progresses. Summary Despite the thrips issue, this week was mainly about stabilizing the flowering phase and reacting quickly to challenges. Catching the infestation early and responding with nematodes should pay off soon, and I expect visible improvement on new growth going forward. With the plants otherwise looking strong and well-established, the focus now shifts to recovery, consistency, and letting them fully settle into bloom. If all goes as planned, the coming weeks should show cleaner foliage and the first real signs of flower development.

MistaOC 27.01. F8 Day 8 of flower and the plants are absolutely taking off. The stretch has clearly started, and they’re growing fast and vigorously — almost like salad shooting upwards overnight. Overall plant health is excellent, with no signs of stress despite the recent issues. One very positive sign: the plants are slightly praying, which usually means they’re feeling comfortable with the environment and light intensity. The nematodes applied earlier this week should begin showing their effect over the next few days, and I expect the thrips population to be pushed back significantly. Apart from that, everything is running smoothly and fully according to plan. If this momentum continues, the coming weeks should be very promising.
